Default HID Light ?

Does anyone know a site where I can buy a HID Light kit. I didn't want to do the retrofit only because I know the 3gen Integras already have projectors. I have the Hyper White bulbs now, but wanted to do the kit for more light. The road I drive on going home is dark so want to keep an eye on the dears know what I mean.
Thanks, Fellas

I bought the 9006 Techone 5000k HID kit from MFactory, I don't know the website address though and they were only 210 shipped. Weaksauce.org has them from what I hear. They give great out put compared to the stock halogens and have a nice color to them. They're extremely easy to install, basically plug and play and they instructions are very easy to use. Das Schmoo also made a DIY thread on how to install the same kit.

This is how they look on my car

looks good. They're definately brighter than my hyper whites. Good looking out for the site to order the kit. I'll be getting me some in the near future. How long did it take you?

Takes all of about 15 minutes to get everything done.

Most of the cars that you see with HIDs (Audi, Acura, Lexus, etc) are mostly about 4200K which is as white as you can get with the most usable light. 5000K, 6000K, 8000K just get bluer as you go higher and then to purple and green up in the 12000K-15000K temps.

I did not know that. I've heard many people say how they want 10-15k so they can have the brightest lights possible. Even a salesperson at a performance shop said this while trying to sell some HIDs.

Great info...
And no, I was not one that would say that
